    Timpano has a great happy hour on weekdays from 11am-7pm and weekends from 4-7pm. You can also reserve a happy hour seat at the bar or at a table. Everything on the happy hour menu was delicious, but my personal favorites were the whipped ricotta, meatballs, and mussels. The bartenders were great as well. They also serve brunch on the weekends, which I'll be trying out next

    They have some of the best spicy rigatoni Ihave ever tried. The portion for the price, however, was pretty small. The espresso martini was decent though they automatically put Baileys into it which is not my preference. I sat at the bar and all of the bartenders were super sweet! The interior is very pretty. Not a lot of parking around but was able to score a spot on a side street and walk to the restaurant which is around some other fun shops (though they seem to close pretty early).

    Good food, ruined experience -- and management that looked the other way

    The food at Timpano was genuinely good -- no complaints there. Unfortunately, that's where the positive experience ended. Shortly after our appetizers arrived, a group of four young women settled in at the bar. Within minutes, the noise level became extreme -- loud voices and repeated shrieking that carried throughout the dining room, making conversation completely impossible. We couldn't hear each other across the table. We politely asked our server if something could be done. We were told the manager had been notified. At some point, we noticed the bartender say something briefly to the group and pointedly glance in our direction. I want to take it as an acknowledgment, at least, that the complaint had been passed along. It had no effect whatsoever on the noise level. Around us, other diners were visibly frustrated -- we watched people get up and leave, one commenting out loud that they couldn't take it anymore. After trying appetizers, we wanted to stay for a full meal, but instead, we skipped our entrées and left as fast as we could. A bar and a dining room sharing space is a common setup, and it can work beautifully -- but it requires staff willing to do more than a cursory word when bar energy overwhelms the room. A quiet, firm request to keep it down would have been enough. That never came. We may return to try the food again -- but not until we have more confidence that Timpano is willing to protect the dining experience it's presumably trying to offer.

    10/10 Christmas dinner. The beef carpaccio as always is amazing. Bruschetta tasted so fresh and light My sea bass was a little underdone but it didn't take away from the experience because they brought us Prosecco and it was divine. Our servers name was Regus or something similar I can't fully remember. He was absolutely amazing. Couldn't have asked for a better experience from the staff.

    Never tried the brunch until now and I highly recommend! They had a wide variety of dishes from sweet to savory. I almost got the tiramisu French toast because it looked delicious, I will definitely get next time, but I wanted lunch so I got the rigatoni with sausage and not only is it super well seasoned and mouthwatering but a big portion I had to bring some home. My fiancée go the breakfast burger and he liked the plate cause the sauce they add to it is out of this world! A tip you have to order the truffle fries it's a must. One weird thing they didn't have Coke Zero for all my zero girlies. The service was a little slow but we went after gasparilla so it was packed. The place is always such a trendy vibe and in the heart of Hyde park! Definitely recommend 10/10

    We visited this spot for a holiday party and from making the reservation to paying the bill, it was such a pleasant experience. The food was delicious. We ordered a wide variety of foods and everyone shared that they thought the food was well seasoned and decent portion sizes. The restaurant is spacious and was decorated beautifully. Bathrooms were clean and they offer outside seating if interested. Lots of natural light inside and I personally love the tropical plants inside and outside. Our server was nice and was on top of the orders. We'll definitely be back.

    Lobster Risotto
    Stephanie D.

    Absolutely, incredible lobster risotto the flavors were delicious. I actually split this and it was still such a giant amount. Also, the ambience was very cute and my server was absolutely amazing and so kind!

    Housemade Focaccia
    Cara P.

    Had a lovely dinner at Timpano while in Tampa for work. All dishes were very good and the service was great on a very busy Tuesday night. The noise level was thankfully manageable even though it was quite busy. The radiatore was probably my favorite, though I would have liked a little more pancetta. The meatballs were another favorite. The parm to table pasta in the parm wheel was novelty but skippable in my opinion.

    Dj L.

    I love Timpano! It's always so upbeat and lively in there. The food is amazing and the drinks are too. The spritz and espresso martinis always hit. The pastas are delicious and the Mussels are probably the best ones I've ever had. They have some good deals during the "Social hour" so make sure to come early for that. We did the pasta that's served out of the cheese wheel once and that was so good! Highly recommend coming to Timpano soon!

    Parm To Table Experience - Bucatini al Pesto
    Hunter D.

    I am extremely bummed to write this review because prior to this visit we had nothing but amazing experiences. However, our yearly Anniversary Dinner was a tremendous let down at Timpano. We went on a Wednesday night this week, thinking there would be less of a crowd, and there was an extremely loud group of individuals that sat in the middle of the restaurant which ruined the whole atmosphere. The thing that surprised me was that none of the staff were asking them to be quiet and respectful of other guests. Instead, the music in the restaurant was turned up so loud so all evening we could barely hear each other. In addition, our server was beyond inattentive and our entire meal took almost 2 hours from start to finish. We ordered the Whipped Ricotta Crostini for $14 which came out cold and the bread was rock hard we couldn't even bite into it. We were able to get that subbed instead for the Housemade Focaccia which was hot a fresh. It was much better. After that it took an additional 20 minutes to order drinks and another 20 before he finally came to our table to ask if we were ready for our main entree. Our waters were not refilled unless asking and when the meal finally did come out the pasta was great except it was cold. After we finished eating, we waited another 30 minutes before our server came back to ask us if we were ready for the check. When he asked us if we wanted our leftovers boxed up, we said yes, and then proceeded to take our food and get stopped multiple times by other servers and went to another couples table with our food in hand. I don't like that our food was taken around the restaurant around multiple different people. There are sanitary issues in hand. Overall, we were extremely disappointed and will not be having our traditional yearly anniversary at Timpano's anymore sadly.

    Lobster Arancini
    Addessa J.

    The food at Timpano was delicious. I would say arancini and truffles needed more favor and salt. Please see my ratings.However, the vibe and ambience are everything. Tip: If you want a seat, show up early. I will definitely visit again. Selections: Skillet mussels 4/5 Calamari 5/5 Truffle fries 4/5 Lobster Arancini 3/5 Margarita 5/5 Sangria

    I would like to start by saying a big THANK YOU to our server Emma! She was excellent, recommended the perfect drink and was just kind and amazing. That whipped ricotta on the crostini will FOREVER live in my heart and soul it was absolutely AMAZING. The tomahawk steak was cooked to perfection! Full of flavor, amazing marbling and just enough seasoning. The mashes potatoes paired perfectly. They were smooth, flavorful, did not need any additional seasoning. All in all the meal was perfect and I would love to return!

    Rigatoni, truffle fries and Chicken Parmesan
    Alexandra E.

    It's beautifully set, the location and atmosphere is amazing. Staff were efficient and friendly and the menu rotates well with plenty to choose from and options for everyone. It's a hit pricey but delicious. Only reason I gave it a 4 star was we had a reservation for 6:45 on Christmas Eve but didn't get set until 7:10, the my rigatoni was undercooked when it arrived. As soon as I told the waiter he resolved the issue immediately.

    Is there parking?

    There is roadside parking, plus there is a parking garage near Timpano.

    Are kids allowed?

    They are, however, I wouldn't exactly call this place family friendly per se. It's very loud and geared a bit more towards adult groups/date nights

    Are there vegan options?

    No vegan, but they have some vegetarian options.

    Does Timpano still have live jazz and if so what days & times?

    No. Food was not the same. Piano is gone

    How expensive are they?

    Expensive

    No prices listed? Weird. Must be expensive.

    Yes.

    Is there happy hour?

    Do you need reservations and is there a happy hour?

It's got that all-around fun, energetic atmosphere that makes it a solid choice for drinks. Not sure how it is during the week, but it would make for a fun date night spot to grab some cocktails. That said, I had a real hang-up the last time I went with my girlfriend around Christmas. They tried to hit us with a $10 cover just to get in, on top of $15-20 cocktails. I don't mind paying for a nice spot, but the cover felt absurd, especially since it wasn't even busy. The bouncer said we could make a reservation to avoid it, so I did...and then he made us stand outside forever before letting us in. At that point, we should've just left, but since my friend had never been, we stuck it out to try the themed Christmas cocktails. Once inside, there was a two-drink minimum per person, which is kind of crazy. It feels like they jip you either way...cover or no cover, minimum spend or not. While waiting outside (for no real reason, since it was empty), we chatted with a party of six who came straight from Ash (the sister restaurant upstairs). They'd just spent over $1,000 on their meal and were still getting charged a cover to enter Alter Ego. That's poor business, don't force extra fees to guarantee money when good music, drinks, and vibes should bring people in naturally and make them want to spend. There's plenty of places on Water Street with great (and I'd say better) cocktails where you're not forced into minimums or covers. The Christmas cocktail menu was disappointing too, poor selections and way too sugary. Love the potential here, but the strict policies really turned me off and made me want to go elsewhere next time.

The ambiance was nice. A lot of eclectic paintings on the walls. And loved the outfits of the servers. Very 20's speakeasy. There is a live jazz band that started performing at 7 pm. They were good but at some points it was a bit difficult to speak and listen to those at your table unless you got really close. My meal hit the spot. We started with a charcuterie board for the table. It had a lot of great options like dried apricots, actual honeycomb pieces, and my most favorite cheese, some Brie cheese. The only thing was there was only 4 pieces of bread, one for each of us, which wasn't enough but I guess it made sense not to fill us up too much. For my main meal I had the sweet potato salad which was very tasty and the sweet potato risotto, which a little spicy kick. The only thing I missed was the Brussels sprouts and potatoes but was told that was from the previous chef. But they serve you enough so you definitely will have left overs. Not a big fan of eating in the lounge areas, those are best just for drinks and maybe desserts. But it's definitely a great place to people watch. You will definitely have a meal and a show no matter what. Hopefully can schedule another time to bring my family because I know they would love it.

We also ordered a half cheese, half pepperoni pizza to share. I've never had a "Columbus-style" pizza before. If you're wondering, the crust is somewhat thinner than most pizzas, but not a thin-crust pizza. The toppings are spread all throughout the pizza to the edge, and then cut it in squares (Tavern style). It was very tasty, with a slightly sweet note. My hubby and I ordered the Cobb Salad (without bacon) which was delicious. I really liked the onions on it. It was very fresh and they served a generous portion. Hubby ate the whole thing, but I had the rest of mine for dinner. So good! Two of our friends ordered the Truffle Mushroom Smash Burger and they loved them. I tried my buddy's tater tots, which he ordered with his French Dip. They were nice and crispy, but could have used some kind of flavoring, like Parmesan or truffle. Doesn't mean I didn't eat them all! LOL. The restaurant looks small when you enter, but in addition to the front dining area and bar, it has two additional dining areas, as you walk towards the back, and another bar. If you find yourself in the Channelside area, you should definitely try out Small Giant.
